A speculative AND authoritative look at mysteries and possibilities of the past

A Speculative Genesis
100 trillion trillion BC- 3,000,000,001 BC: Our Universe is born; our solar system (and Earth One) forms; Earth is destroyed and replaced with Earth Two (the Moon also appears); Earth Two battered by asteroids, comets, and biblical scale tidal waves; Mars may harbor life; the first intelligent species in the Universe and our galaxy may arise now REFERENCE

The Signposts Perspectives 3,000,000,000 BC- 60,000,000 BC: Many entire galaxies (including our own) could have been fully colonized twice by the end of this period; Earth may be repeatedly frozen; sea levels are possibly 2000 feet higher than they will be in 2000 AD; global catastrophe on Venus; Earth life explodes in diversity; northern Mars calamity; our galaxy mixing with others; many mass extinction events

The Signposts Perspectives The Divergence into Left and Right Approximately 200,000 BC- 50,000 BC: By now (if not earlier) humanity's predecessors have diverged into two distinct types in terms of dexterity-- right-handers and left-handers; the majority are right-handed; hominids in general are living in small, roaming groups

The Signposts Perspectives
8,000 BC- 1,600s AD The Peopling of the Americas People from all over the world trickle into the Americas over millennia, crossing both seas and arctic wastes; rising sea levels, massive earthquakes, and flooding from glacial melt demolish many sites of native American civilization, while climate change, war, and disease adversely affect many others REFERENCE

The Signposts document; An illustrated speculative timeline
of future technology and social change OR How advances in technology may reshape humanity (timeline and perspectives speculating about the future of technology and humanity)

The Signposts Timeline 2026 AD-2049 AD Biotechnology disappoints many; the world overhauls privacy and identity matters, even as surveillance becomes ubiquitous; global military spending is declining; households are gaining self-sufficiency in energy production as well as small object replication (3D printing becomes widely available) REFERENCE

The Signposts Timeline 2050 AD-2081 AD
World population is leveling off and getting older; software complexity is being overcome via directed evolution techniques, even as growing social complexity now makes consensus and across-the-board change tougher to manage; the power of flight is becoming available to everyone REFERENCE

The Signposts Timeline 2082 AD-2183 AD The virtual telepathy of the shush net emerges; active electro-chemical mind alteration is becoming common; heavy commercialization of space is proceeding; historical stress levels on average citizens (as well as mass species extinctions due to growing human numbers squeezing out other lifeforms) are both peaking now REFERENCE

The Signposts Timeline 2184 AD-2272 AD
Synthetic human beings, practical force fields, Star Trek-style transporters and replicators, and terraforming of Venus all become fact; the wealthy enjoy their own solar system roaming spacecraft

The Signposts Timeline
2351 AD-2600 AD Mars and the Moon are major commerce and industrial centers; Mars opens for civilian settlement; virtual states rule the Earth; space exploration/colonization beyond the solar system is faltering
